Chapter 177: Chapter 177: For One Person Chapter 177: Chapter 177: For One Person Mu Jincheng, decked out in a suit and leather shoes, had his hair combed back, revealing a slightly broad forehead, and looked much sharper and handsome than usual.

He took two steps forward and nodded at Dai Qiu.

“Can we go in now, Young Master Mu?”

“Let’s go, I’ve already reserved a place,” this area belonged to the Mu Family’s business, so arranging one or two spots was very convenient.

The three of them walked inside, and under the bright lights, Shi Lian took the opportunity to size up Mu Jincheng.

They had met before, but they were not acquainted.

If it were not for this time, they would not have had the intention to collaborate.

Mu Jincheng had arranged the most private room, and once the three of them entered, they started to sit down and discuss the direction of the partnership.

In the next room over, Shen Yan and Shen Zheng were facing each other over dinner.

The atmosphere was not bad.

“When are you returning to Beijing?”

Shen Zheng, seeing that Shen Yan had almost finished eating, asked.

“I have to go on set for filming soon,” Shen Yan said.

“What kind of script did you take?” Shen Zheng did not know much about this field, but since Shen Yan was in the entertainment industry, he would sometimes take the time to learn about it.

“An undercover police film.”

“Is it dangerous?”

Shen Yan shook her head.

Shen Zheng took a couple of bites and then put down his chopsticks, looking at her, “Qi Si has gone to Tibet, did you know?”

Shen Yan was taken aback, her gaze lifting to Shen Zheng.

Seeing Shen Yan’s reaction, Shen Zheng knew she was not aware of it, and although Qi Si was not obliged to report everything to Shen Yan, as Qi Si’s wife, not knowing such a thing was somewhat odd.

“He went there for business?”

Shen Zheng’s expression grew serious, “It’s really not for business. It’s for a person.”

Shen Yan suddenly thought of Chi Boyuan.

Was it for him?

“The Chi Family’s member is a good friend of Qi Si. The Chi Family’s waters run deep, the matters they’re involved in are complex. Qi Si blundering in like this, the danger that follows won’t be light. We can reach out to the Zhai Family, but for other external people, the Shen Family is also powerless.”

“What trouble has the Chi Family stirred up?”

Shen Yan heard the complexity in his words and felt some worry for Qi Si.

“We, the Shen Family, do legitimate business. Whom the Chi Family has troubled is not for the Shen Family to inquire about,” Shen Zheng’s tone revealed his dislike for the Chi Family.

Shen Yan couldn’t help but look sidelong.

“You don’t like the Chi Family.”

“The Chi Family, that kind of family, is beyond our Shen Family’s reach,” Shen Zheng did not directly respond to Shen Yan’s comment.

Shen Yan looked at Shen Zheng thoughtfully.

It seemed he truly disliked them.

Or perhaps, Shen Zheng had some grievances with the Chi Family.

Seeing that Shen Zheng was not in high spirits, Shen Yan did not probe into the affairs of the Chi Family.

“When you walk alongside Qi Si, there will surely be people who set their sights on you. You need to be extra cautious lately,” Shen Zheng reminded Shen Yan.

“I will be careful,” Shen Yan knew he had come to Shen City specifically to tell her this, and her heart was filled with an indescribable feeling.

After dinner, she wanted to express just one sentiment: having family who cares about you feels wonderful!

Shen Yan cherished this familial warmth.

After finishing dinner, Shen Yan turned to Shen Zheng, “Is the hotel booked?”

“Don’t worry about me,” Shen Zheng was about to add something else when he noticed someone looking their way and his sharp, cold eyes swept in that direction.

Following his gaze, Shen Yan saw Shi Lian and Mu Jincheng standing together.

The inquiry about the hotel booking had just reached their ears, and at that moment, Mu Jincheng’s look towards Shen Yan was somewhat heavy.

Shi Lian was somewhat astonished.

Was Shen Yan being so blatantly obvious?

Shen Zheng saw Mu Jincheng, his brows furrowing slightly, “Let’s go.”

“Shen Yan,” Mu Jincheng, seeing Shen Yan turn to leave, called out to her instinctively.

Shen Yan glanced at him briefly and then nodded at Shi Lian, saying to Shen Zheng, “Let’s go.”

Seeing that Shen Yan completely ignored him, Mu Jincheng pursued a few steps forward: “Shen Yan, how have you fallen to such lows.”

Too despicable.

Shen Yan didn’t even glance at him as she left with Shen Zheng.

Shen Zheng looked back coldly at Mu Jincheng, then turned to Shen Yan, “That was the Mu young master from Shen City, right?”

“Mhm.”

“Not going to pay him any attention?”

Shen Zheng was gauging Shen Yan’s reaction.

Shen Yan said, “No need to bother.”

“I thought you still cared.”

“Didn’t big brother already know?” Shen Yan certainly didn’t want to encounter Mu Jincheng, that arrogant jerk.

Seeing that Shen Yan truly had no lingering feelings, he felt quite relieved.

“Though he also comes from a wealthy family, his character is questionable, and his family is unaware. It’s better to stick with someone whose background is clear.”

“Big brother is right.”

“He’s far inferior compared to Qi Si.”

“Big brother is right.”

Shen Zheng gave her a sidelong glance, “He’s got a girlfriend now, so you should move on and try getting along with Qi Si.”

“Big brother is right.”

Shen Zheng: “…”

Shen Zheng raised his eyebrows, “Can’t you say anything else?”

“You’re definitely right about that, big brother.”

Shen Zheng’s mouth twitched, “…”

As the siblings reached the parking area, Shen Yan suddenly looked up at Shen Zheng on the other side, “Does big brother have a girlfriend?”

Shen Zheng’s forehead veins throbbed, “…”

Seeing his reaction, Shen Yan asked, “Does the family require a match of equal status?”

“No need,” Shen Zheng gritted his teeth, “Just mind your own business and stop meddling in mine.”

“What type does big brother like? I have someone who would be perfect for you. If you don’t already have someone in mind, I could set you up…”

Shen Zheng’s frown deepened, and he gritted his teeth, “No need.”

“Do you look down on people from the entertainment industry?”

“No.”

“Then why…”

“Shen Yan,” Shen Zheng took a deep breath, “you’d better get lost quickly.”

“That person is quite simple-minded. If big brother wants to have a girlfriend, I can arrange for you to meet any time.”

Shen Zheng walked over, opened the car door, and shoved Shen Yan in, “Drive carefully on the road.”

After shoving her into the car, Shen Zheng hurried back to his own vehicle, hit the gas, and sped away.

Shen Yan sat silently in the car for a while, then took out her phone and texted Shen Zheng.

[Big brother, do you like men?]

“Tsk!”

“Cough cough…”

Shen Zheng was so startled by the bold message that he nearly crashed the car.

He replied through gritted teeth: [I like women, women! Busty, sexy, charming ones!]

Shen Yan: [I think big brother would be more suited to a simple-minded girl.]

Shen Zheng: [It’s enough that you know I like women.]

Shen Yan: [Then I’ll ask the other party, how about arranging a meeting tomorrow?]

Shen Zheng: [Don’t bother.]

Shen Yan: [You’re my big brother, I should care.]

She sent the message followed by an exclamation mark.

Shen Yan: “…”

She had been blocked by Shen Zheng.

Shen Yan fell silent for a moment, then dialed a number, “Is Teacher Qin in Shen City?”

Qin Dingyue made an ‘ah’ sound, then excitedly said, “Yes yes yes! I’m free tomorrow, where shall we meet?”

Shen Yan: “…”

She hadn’t even said anything yet.
